Attempts To Place Black Jewish Children In Foster Homes Fail
NEW YORK, (JTA) - The Jewish child Care Association has been trying for more than a year to place five Black Jewish children in Jewish foster homes, so far without success, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency learned on March 27. A JCCA source told the JTA that its last mailing of 1700 letters in mid-Jan. to rabbis, congregations and Jewish organizations in the New York metropolitan area seeking homes for the
youngsters, drew, not a single response. Neither did advertisements the child care agency' placed in Jewish newspapers and periodicals, the source said. But Bob Coleman; director of the department for social justice of the Synagogue Council of America told the JTA that the SCA working jointly with .the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies has met with some success. He said 2-3. white Jewish - families had expressed
interest in accepting the children and were currently under investigation as prospective foster homes. The case involved five children of Mrs. Grace Kutchera - boys aged 6-10 - who is a Black Jewish convert, a divorcee and lives in the Bronx. Because of personal problems, she placed .the boys with the JCCA for temporary foster care in Feb. 1973. According to Mrs. Kutcheraj the two

Superpowers Futher Apart On Mideast? KSE£

WASHINGTON, (JTA) - Behind the cprdiality and optimism outwardly manifested by the principals in the Soviet-American latest conversations in Moscow, the realism is that the super-powers: are probably further apart on the Middle East situation than at any time since they yiere sending arms to their allies during the Yom Kippur War- In these con- versations .between
Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger and Soviet leader Leonid I. Brezhnev at the Kremlin, the United'States appeared plainly on the defensive, if reports received here from official U.S. sources are correctly assessed by American government analysts. In effect, Kissinger was telling Brezhnev that if the Soviet Union cannot lend its cooperation in bringing about a Syrian-Israeli disengagement on the Golan Heights, then perhaps he will
at least acquiesce in U.S. efforts to achieve it. One well-placed American source in Moscow said that active Soviet assistance would be desirable but if that is unobtainable then perhaps Soviet toleration of American activity would be forthcoming. This implied that the Kremlin holds /the high cards as in the past on whether high tension will return .to the Mideast or progress toward adjustment of the Arab-Israeli conflict will continue. Soviet
assistance was seen as not necessary for starting Syrian-Israeli "proximity" talks since Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan was due here March 29 and the Syrians was expected to arrive within the following week. Where Soviet^ assistance may be needed is to persuade the Syrians to accept certain positions.

WASHINGTON (WNS) — The Soviet Union appears to have adopted a tougher attitude toward a settlement ' of the Middle East conflict, insists on a greater Soviet involvement in Mideast activities aimed at a peace accord, and is determined to pursue trade relations with the U.S. regardless of the sentiment of Congress to link trade with the easing of Soviet emigration policies. This is how political analysts here sized up the Soviet position after studying a communique by the White House dealing with Secretary of State Henry AT Kissinger's talks with Soviet leaders in Moscow. U.S. government, officials, however, maintained a discreet silence on the communique, taking their cue from said he would not discuss his talks with until he reported to President Nixon.
JERUSALEM (WNS) — The United Nations finally confirmed Israel's charge that Egypt violated the disengagement accord by introducing additional ar¬ tillery pieces into the limited forces zone east of the Suez Canal. A crisis over the matter-appears, however, to have been averted as reports from Cairo said the Egyptians were prepared to remove the artillery.
NEW YORK (WNS) — Diplomats and specialists in extremist forms of political and class warfare predict an Increase in international terrorism. According to a report in "The Inter Dependent," the monthly magazine published by the United Nations Association of the U.S., several factors are involved in this prediction: the emergence of a Palestinian state as one of the main ingredients in a Middle East settlement, the relatively low cost and high effectiveness of terrorist acts, world-wide inflationcausing unrest, and the massive swing against the Left in South America.
